Medical Illustration

I thought I would post some assignments from my Medical Illustration Program.

This was our first assignment-pen and ink; a lot harder than it looks.  I spent a great deal of time doing this, I think I did about 9 versions before I felt like I got it right

This was our skull-done in carbon dust; once you establish your drawing you grind up carbon pencils and apply that "sauce" with a brush.  Kind of like painting.  It creates a nice even gradation of value. 

This is my first computer generated assignment-a medical instrument in Adobe Illustrator.  I am working on a more complex instrument in Photoshop right now.
